The bigger the better! But I love animals of all sizes and will give them the love and respect they deserve. I just need to know if they have any specific requirements.

We can go to parks or play at home. Fetch, tug-a-war, keep-a-way. All dog activities are fun for me. Hopefully they are for your dog too!

I can handle any dog, cat or animal

Pet care experience

I am very capable of handling any breed or age of dog. I prefer large breed dogs but love them all. I've been handling dogs for 31 years now. I've even had experience with hybrid dogs. Capable of taking care or healthily or sick dogs, young or old. And your dog will undoubtably love me! My own dogs suffers from seizures and I am his support animal, he is very friendly young Great Dane mix. I also live on 11 acres in the woods on a river. So we can run all day long or go for a swim. Also it doesnt matter if your dog is the best trained dog or not trained at all! I like a challenge if it's a "problem" dog, not completely house trained or has anxiety. I will love them anyways!

The girls love their walks with Shayla. Shayla takes great care of them and I appreciate how she keeps me informed as well.

Always so great! I have a hectic schedule and she’s always so kind to take my requests even though it’s almost always super last minute.
